When your puppy is ill, it's pretty easy to see some signs that something goes wrong and take your pet to a vet.
But what if you notice something wrong, but aren't sure whether it's actually a bad sign or not?
Here are a few unobvious signs that something goes wrong.
While puppies sleep a lot, if you notice a sudden increase in lethargy or excessive sleeping, it could indicate an underlying health issue.
If your puppy undergoes sudden shifts in behavior, such as increased aggression, fearfulness, or unusual withdrawal, it might be a sign of discomfort or illness.
A puppy's appetite can fluctuate, but a significant and persistent decrease in eating or drinking may signal health problems that need veterinary attention.
Frequent diarrhea, vomiting, or difficulty passing stool can be signs of digestive problems or infections that require professional evaluation.
Significant changes in your puppy's weight that are not attributed to diet or exercise adjustments could indicate health issues that need vet assessment.
Persistent bad breath, unusual body odor, or changes in the smell of urine or feces may point to dental problems, infections, or digestive issues.
If your puppy constantly scratches, bites, or loses fur, it could be due to allergies, skin infections, or parasites that a vet should address.
Continuous discharge from the eyes or nose may suggest respiratory or ocular infections that require veterinary examination.
Any unusual lumps, bumps, or swelling on your puppy's body should be examined by a vet to rule out potential health concerns.
